q. s VENEER, who is the great objector
to all the schemes for extension and ex-
pansion Of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe system, speaking of the Chicago and
Kansas City project, said: "We propose
to prevent the building of it. There is no
need for such line, and it would not
prove paying investment with five COM
petitors In the field, the majority of
whom would Tetaliate upon the Atchison
by building into its territory. The talk
about g line thirty eight miles shorter
than the present short line Is not
worthy of consideration. Tue differ
ence Is not enough to give the Atch-
ison any decided advantage. D!sas-
trous wars would ensue, and the result
would be q repetition of the West Shore
catastrophe. If such line was built, the
Atchison could not hope to avoid retalia-
ton. The local business between Kansas
City and Chicago is already divided up
and cut to pieces, and the building of this
new line would only make matters worse a"
Mr. .Venner also added that he would
contest the acquisition Of the Chicago
aud st. Louis by the Atchison as being in
a line with the rest of its unwarranted
deals Chicago Times.

DIR. Avery was called out to hear the
verdict of the surgeons. When he came
back Willy gave one look at him and
sank back, covering his face.
There is still a chance, my boy,

to tell you the exact truth. Morning

''Yes! yes! 1t doesn't matter now

Lefty was a sturdy, red-cheeked little

they had learned to call DIR. Avery's, in

at the end of his course, with the high

No, my boy. / never should have

the exception Of two smsil children, and
had but one bucket of water on the prem

happened to be absent from home. His
